Maximum output torque is 1280 N·m, so the gearbox carries roughly 1.6× its continuous figure in peak demand — useful for sizing acceleration cycles on a servo-driven axis without derating the reducer to its continuous ceiling. ## Torque envelope and shaft loading Continuous output torque sits at 800 N·m with a 1280 N·m maximum — the peak/continuous ratio is the figure to budget for cyclic shock loads such as indexing or start/stop duty on a conveyor or pick-and-place axis. Maximum radial force Fr is 4200 N at 100 rpm applied at mid-distance from the output shaft over a 30000 hour life at 30 °C, rising to 6000 N if the duty is capped at 10000 hours; maximum axial force Fa is 6000 N at the 30000-hour rating, 8000 N at the 10000-hour rating. At a 30 °C ambient and 100 rpm, the rated service life is 30000 hours — the gearbox is lubricated for life, so no relube interval is on the nameplate; sizing the application below the continuous torque ceiling is what protects that envelope. ## Precision, noise, and the operating envelope Maximum torsional backlash is 10 arc.min and torsional rigidity is 41 N·m/arcmin — adequate for general motion control and positioning where sub-arcminute backlash is not required, but a stop to consider on high-precision indexing axes. Moment of inertia is 6.36 g.cm² at the input, so the gearbox adds minimal reflected inertia to the motor — a small figure that keeps servo loop tuning tractable when paired with a typical servo drive. Noise level is 70 dB at 1 m under no-load, shaft output sealing is IP54, and the operating ambient range is -25 to 90 °C — sealed enough for an enclosure-mounted reducer, but not rated for washdown or outdoor exposure. Efficiency is 94 %, the reflection loss between input and output at the 32:1 ratio — typical for a single-stage planetary with straight teeth, and the figure to fold into motor torque sizing. ## Sourcing posture for a discontinued gearbox Independent distribution is the realistic channel here — quoted to order against the RFQ, with lot-specific availability confirmed at quote time. No price, stock count, or lead-time figure is asserted; that is the buyer's RFQ deliverable, not the spec sheet.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GBX1600321083D Planetary Gearbox, 32:1","metaDescription":"GBX1600321083D — Schneider Electric GBX series Ø 160 mm planetary gearbox, 32:1 reduction, 800 N·m continuous torque.
